Two former Reds players, Lucas and Davy James, have expressed their high praise for new signing Chiesa Jr. in the official Liverpool FC program. Lucas recalled his experience of playing against Chiesa Jr. when he was at Fiorentina and Juventus and was full of praise for him. He pointed out that Chiesa Jr. is not only a technically brilliant player with incredible speed, but his versatility - being able to play as a left winger and a right winger - makes him an invaluable asset in the Liverpool line-up. Lucas particularly emphasized Liverpool's excellent care during Chiesa Jr.'s recovery from a serious injury and believes he is ready to shine at Anfield and contribute to the team.
David James, on the other hand, expressed his love for Chiesa Jr. in terms of his style of play. He praised Chiesa Jr. for playing with total commitment and giving his best no matter the situation. David James specifically mentioned a video of Chiesa Jr. scoring a great goal on social media, saying that it showed the kind of determination and efficiency he had when playing for the Italian national team. He believes that Chiesa Jr's style of play is not fancy, but with strong determination and relentless hard work, it is enough to turn the heads of Premier League defenders. He is confident that Chiesa Jr. will be able to step up to the plate and become an important pillar of the team when they need him.
In his additional remarks, Lucas re-emphasized the extraordinary strengths of Chiesa Jr. and in particular his performances as a key member of Italy's Euro 2021 squad prior to his injury. He believes that the signing is undoubtedly an extremely sensible choice for Liverpool and that Chiesa Jr's pace, positional adaptability and attitude to the game will bring new energy and competitiveness to the team. The two Liverpool veterans share the view that the addition of Chiesa Jr. will add unlimited possibilities to the team's future, and he is expected to become a shining star in the Reds' squad.
